Title: Dynamic address allocation to a radio device
Inventor: ENGELIEN-LOPES DAVID ALEXANDRE
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2012-10-11
Abstract: A short-range radio peripheral device (eg. Bluetooth heart monitor 7 slaved to a mobile phone 3) undergoes secure dynamic address allocation by taking a value derived from a counter and hashing a combination of this value and a stored 128-bit peer Identity Resolving Key (IRK) to produce a resolvable private address for data packets 2. Since each new address is generated by incrementing the counter (eg. every 15 minutes), the master or slave device can distinguish fresh addresses from old addresses, thus indicating a masquerade or mimic attack from peer 11 if an old address (eg. >1 year) is detected. The hash complies with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and the address may comprise the most significant octet of the counter value (ie. a 24-bit    count    + bits    1    and    0   ) and the least significant octet of the IRK hash (ie. 24-bit    hash   ).

Title: Mass-spring system for energy harvesting in a geophysical survey streamer
Inventor: TENGHAMN STIG RUNE LENNART
IPC: G01V1/20
Filed: 2012-03-07
Abstract: A geophysical survey streamer (24, Fig 1) that comprises a plurality of spaced apart sensors (e.g. seismic or electromagnetic sensors) powered by at least one energy harvesting device 502 that converts motion of the streamers into electrical power. The harvesting device employs a mass-spring system to perform said conversion. The vibratory motion may originate from vortex shedding, drag fluctuation, breathing waves, and various flow noise sources including turbulent boundary layers. To increase conversion efficiency, the device may be designed with an adjustable resonance frequency to match the largest component of the vibratory motion. There may be one energy harvester in each of a plurality of detachable streamer segments. Sensors may be arranged in groups, and the streamer may include hubs which digitise data from sensor groups. The hubs may be powered by energy harvesting devices. Use of energy harvesting power sources reduces the amount of wiring that would otherwise be required along the streamer.
